STORAGE DEVICE FOR INTERFACING WITH HOST AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE HOST AND THE STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18091452 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE FOR INTERFACING WITH HOST AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE HOST AND THE STORAGE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for operating a storage device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves receiving a packet from a host, which contains a buffer address. The buffer address indicates the location of a data buffer selected from multiple data buffers in the host.
- The buffer address is parsed from the received packet.
- In response to the received packet, a second packet is transmitted back to the host, which also contains the buffer address.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This method can be applied in various storage devices such as hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), or network-attached storage (NAS) devices.
- It can be used in systems that require efficient data transfer between a host and a storage device.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method provides a way to efficiently communicate the location of a data buffer between a host and a storage device.
- It eliminates the need for the host to perform additional operations to determine the buffer address.
Benefits of this technology:
- The method simplifies the data transfer process between a host and a storage device.
- It improves the overall efficiency of data transfer by reducing the time and resources required for buffer address communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of operating a storage device includes receiving, from a host, a first packet containing a buffer address indicating a location of a data buffer selected from among a plurality of data buffers in the host, parsing the buffer address from the first packet, and transmitting a second packet containing the buffer address to the host in response to the first packet.
